Have you encountered the AHQ release? Share your memories of early fansubbing culture in the comments. And remember—equivalent exchange applies to media too: if you love it, buy the Blu-ray when you can.
However, for the casual viewer, the official Blu-ray or a legal stream in 1080p will suffice—and you’ll be supporting the creators. Use the AHQ version as a supplementary resource, especially to compare subtitle philosophies or to experience episode 48’s emotional beats with unfiltered dialogue. -AHQ- Fullmetal Alchemist 48 mkv
